CHRISI have yet to try EZBass, because they don’t have a demo version that I’m aware of, but I thought this was a good video I stumbled onto:

Thanked by: SpiritCHRISI’m never going to win in the Loudness War. I’ve spent a bunch of time with compression lately trying to improve in that regard though compression/limiting can do things to the audio I don’t like, or easily makes it very fatiguing to listen to. I can still use improvement though. Thank you for listening & commenting!

CHRISsatrianalf,
This song sounds pleasant, though I liked the other song I commented on today quite a bit better.

Intro synths sound very nice! Feel free to tell me what synths you used. The whole song sounds very good! 🙂
In your two other most recent threads, you seem to be missing links to the songs.

Thank you for listening and commenting! Yeah, that is a common problem for me, where the drums get overwhelmed with other sound.

CHRISI agree with you. I have noticed ages ago, whatever I recorded last is quite loud. I want to hear it well to determine if it sounds OK. Then after some time, I keep gradually turning it down until it reaches a decent level. This might take place over several days of working on a song on most days.
Years ago, I saw a statement on some music-related forum where someone said something like: I never finish a musical project. It just gets abandoned.
I thought that was funny. Sometimes I feel like I will keep working on a song until I can’t stand working on it anymore. Then it is finished!

CHRISBear-Faced Cow,
I do use automation to the best of my ability. Sometimes it is easier to look back on something more objectively months or years after I finished recording it. Though my hearing isn’t completely consistent from day to day also. And then there is the issue where l get tired of working on a particular song, and I know it could be a bit better, though I want to work on something new. Ever get that way, where you get your fill of working on a particular song?

CHRISBear-Faced Cow,
Thank you for listening & commenting, I appreciate it! Attempting to listen to “Somewhere in The Sky” objectively on my headphones, I admit the drums get a bit overwhelmed during the chorus (except for the drum fills); but that’s just my headphone/ear/brain combo. I’m going to look around and see if you have any new threads on this forum….didn’t notice any. If you have a song you want me to check out, leave me a link.

CHRISOK, I hear the French like Jazz, so it’s all starting to make sense. About 3 years ago, I spent part of a day in Paris: very amazing!

CHRISsatrianalf,
Thank you for your comments! I don’t think I have ever seen the words “UFO” and “Jazz” in the same sentence, so I had to see what was happening here. I listened to your song. It’s also true you don’t often hear a complex jazz drum beat with a synth(s) like that. It was an interesting listen; I liked it. 🙂 Nice audio quality. What state or country are you from? I am always curious about that when someone comments regarding my music.

Thank you for listening & for your comments, I appreciate it! I mix on headphones (so I don’t drive my wife nuts, and I like the way my headphones sound anyway), so that may contribute to me not panning out the audio as much as if I was using monitors. I have been recording in Cubase at 24 bit (minimum) for over ten years. By the time it is turned into an mp3, it’s not going to sound quite as good. Within the last year or two, you can upload up to 100MB of audio per song, while having a free soundclick account, though I haven’t tried uploading big 24 bit wave files to soundclick; not sure that would work. Plus I was afraid, with a large wave file roughly 50MB large, if that would have trouble streaming. I’m going to check out some of your music in a few minutes.

CHRISGood one! The very first band I was in, our very first practice, some neighbor (young) kids came by to the garage we were playing in. They asked for our autographs, which was amusing, so we gave them our autographs. That was the last time anything like that ever happened. I have more stories, but I will pace myself. 🙂
